Stop subsidizing unreliable generators Subsidies for unreliable electricity, above all the Investment Tax Credit and the Production Tax Credit, force taxpayers to pay utilities to slow down or shut down reliable power plants whenever the sun shines or the wind blows. — PolitiTweet.org

Given the unpredictability of weather and peak demand timing even a month ahead, the effective reliable capacity of solar/wind is near 0. Even if we can expect some wind to blow somewhere in a grid area, it might be much less or more than expected, causing problems either way. — PolitiTweet.org

Solar/wind subsidies are driving reliable power plants out of business, leading to higher costs and lower reliability. Ominously, our government recently extended them *indefinitely*. A future Congress should end solar/wind subsidies, driving lower prices + higher reliability. — PolitiTweet.org
